The Bicycle Shop Decal Project
Found this fun site - well, fun to bike geek me - that posts nothing but dealer stickers. Old school and new. Current and long gone shops. Little adhesive backed pieces of bike culture and history.
My old shop, Whippany Cycle, where I spun wrenches and made a few friends for life back in the early '80s, even featured for all to gawk at. I got a kick out of cruising though the pics - shops I've visited, purchased from, or know folks that worked there - cool little reminders.
Maybe you'll get a kick out of it too...

awesome! I once worked at Temple Terrace Schwinn near Tampa Florida. "Where good times Roll!"
ReplyDeleteNeat Project. It's always fun to find an old bike and see where it's origins are from. I recently restored a Peugeot that came from Hawaii!
